What about Stylosanthes species?
Can't see the fringed crest here.....
Agree with ... This looks like the Carribean Stylo [Stylosanthes hamatus] to me.
A better eye catches the characters easily. 
I erred again, not only the fringed crest, here the leaves are tri-foliate. Sorry for the mistake.
I think I misled myself because of the leaf shape, I guess. Thank you for correcting me.
